Attaching Solar Trickle Charge to RV Cover
I want to keep my trailer covered in storage AND I want to keep my batteries charged without having to lug them to and from storage. Wondering what methods, if any, folks have used to attach solar pan...

Attaching to cover? What cover? There is hardly anything that adheres well to Poly tarp. Besides, the tarp itself (and most cheap "covers") don't last long in heavy winds. Attaching anything to it will create stress points and it will last shorter yet.
When I needed to attach a small trickle charger - 2.5W panel - to my truck covered with tarp, I tied it to antenna. Had to make a hole for antenna anyway. It's not about keeping vehicle totally protected from humidity - tarp only has to protect from direct sun and shed "some" rain water off. Stake in the ground would work, though depending on location it might be safer to keep it somewhere high.
